anti-inflammatory

For those of you who don’t know what cassava flour is, it’s basically the best thing of all time. It’s paleo, nut-free, grain-free, gluten-free, anti-inflammatory, and can be subbed 1:1 for regular wheat flour.

Okay. AMAZING.

So I’ve been very much enjoying experimenting with cassava flour recipes and it dawned on me this morning that I hadn’t even tried making bread with it yet?! What’s wrong with me! I really miss bread in my diet but I don’t miss how achy and gross it made me feel sooooo if I could have bread without the aches and pains, this could be life changing.

So since bread can be pretty tricky, I decided not to go out and waste a bunch of flour trying to make my own recipe from scratch right off the bat. Insteaddddd, I found this amazing recipe on Paleo Hacks and it came out PERFECT!!!!!!!

So no this isn’t my recipe, but bless you Jennafer Ashley for blessing us with your beautiful bread. You can get her recipe by clicking rightttttttt here.

Okay so as soon as October hit this year I got way too excited about pumpkin spice. Literally you guys I made pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. Every day there was something new.

So I have been eating this unreal pumpkin spice smoothie bowl basically every day and I just now realized I forgot to post the recipe for it because I didn’t want to overload you guys with all my pumpkin spice recipes.

MY B DAWGS.

So here I have for you my most favorite smoothie bowl recipe to date. You are welcome. And my most sincere apologies for taking this long. Enjoy!!!!!

Except with these pancakes in your belly it very much will be a happy Monday! These pancakes are one of my favorite go-to recipes during weeks where I know I’ll be super busy and will need quick breakfast options becauseeeeee what you can do is whip up a big batch of these guys on Sunday and throw ’em in the fridge and then whenever you want one (or one fat stack) you just throw ’em in the toaster and viola! Instant mouthwatering-ly tasty healthy pancakes! No more need for frozen toaster pancakes or waffles that are full of junk ingredients like sugars and preservatives. You really can’t beat that.

ALSO. These sneaky little devils have all the health benefits of any breakfast you could ever dream up.

You’ve got your oats in there which are a whole grain, healthy source of carbs that are rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein, and so many other nutrients AKA they are going to give you loads of sustainable energy all day long (and also keep you feeling fuller longer so you don’t have to resort to a mid-morning snack).

You’ve got your bananas which contain loads of potassium AKA a powerful electrolyte which helps maintain the balance between acids and bases in the body and is KEY in maintaining healthy muscles and bones as well as fighting fatigue and regulating your blood pressure.

Egg whites. Egg whites are just incredible. They contain TONS of protein while being super low in calories, fat, and cholesterol PLUS they’re loaded with a bajillion crucial vitamins and minerals essential to healthy living.

Last but not least, we’ve got some cinnamon in there. Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices because besides adding a unique sweet-spicy flavor to whatever you put it in, it’s packed with antioxidants which help fight off damage caused by free radicals and it’s great for fighting inflammation.

So basically if you want the easiest, healthiest, tastiest breakfast ever that lasts you all week, then this is the recipe for you. I GOTCHU. Enjoy 🙂

Okay. So I recently made a discovery in the food world and I’m absolutely OBSESSED. If you read my post about cauliflower gnocchi, you already know BUT just in case you missed that one I’ll tell ya again:

CASSAVA FLOUR PEOPLE.

It’s truly life changing. It’s grain, nut, and gluten free, totally plant based, can be subbed in a 1:1 ratio for wheat flour, AND (the best part) it has the same consistency as actual flour! So it’s perfect for pretty much everything from breads to cakes to pasta and so much more which I will for sure be posting many recipes for.

I’ve been using Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour which is certified gluten-free and non-GMO anddddd it’s super easy to order online (free shipping on errythang 🙌🏻) because cassava flour is actually lowkey so hard to find in stores here in Canada. So very thankful for Otto’s Naturals.

Okay, now for these tortillas. All I have to say is….

SO FREAKIN GOOD HOLY SWEET MAMA JAMA.

Literally I fed them to my boyfriend and he likes them even more than corn and flour tortillas ANDDD they’re so easy to make. Sound good? Okay now get to the tortilla making! Personally I’m about to make about 100 of these bad boys and freeze them so I always have them on hand.

It’s now day two of my 7-day sugar detox and I’m doing okay! No cravings or withdrawals really which has been nice, especially for those around me because I can get pretty cranky sometimes when I want to eat something I can’t have…

BUT, I’m pretty sure I found a secret to reducing my sugar cravings.

You ready for this?!

Iiiiiiiiiittttt’sssssss…. ELLIE’S BEST NUT MILK BAG!!!!

Bailey. What the actual F is a nut milk bag? Okay so I wasn’t really familiar with the process of making nut milks until recently (which is weird that I had never delved into that topic with the amount of cashew milk I consume on the reg) when I learned about Ellie’s Best Nut Milk Bags. Making nut milk is actually like super duper easy? All you have to do is throw your nuts and whatever other flavors you want in some filtered water, soak it, blend it up, and then squeeze it through this lil’ gem of a bag and VOILA the freshest and tastiest nut milk you’ve ever had in your entire life.

Annnddddd, the best part about making your own is that you can control what you put into your drink! No added sugars or preservatives? That’s what I’m talking about people! Take back control of what you’re putting into your beautiful bodies!

AND!!!! I need to stop starting paragraphs off with “and” so much, but really I just keep thinking of more and more great stuff! You don’t even have to limit yourself to nut milk with this bad boy! I’m talking coconut milk, cold brew coffee, fresh squeezed juice, and so much more. I’ll keep posting more recipes as I experiment more and more. Oh, and there’s no waste here either. That pulp you just squeezed the life out of? Ya, dry that ish up and turn it into flour. Or make it into vegan cheese. Or add it to hummus. The possibilities are endless!!

So since I love my nut bag so much and love you guys equally as much, I’ve teamed up with Ellie’s Nut Milk Bags to get you 10% off your entire purchase by using the discount code “bitesbybai”. You guys. This is life changing. Take advantage while you can. And enjoy this delicious, thirst-quenching, treat of a drink!
